Not long after, wisps of golden light shot out. Some of them missed the target, but some of them directly hit the bandits who stuck their heads out to see the situation.
Soon, screams were heard. The strength of the bandits who were hit by the golden light was quickly drained away. Their faces turned pale, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
Necromancer, curse.
This scene frightened the other bandit leaders so much that they dared not stick their heads out, for fear that they would be hit.
After a wave of long-range attacks, the banshees dispersed to both sides, and more skeletons came in. The bone wall formed by the skeletons, pushed by the zombies, approached the fortifications step by step.
This scene frightened the bandit soul masters so much that they began to attack frantically. Indeed, their attacks became stronger and were about to break the bone wall, but as the zombies spewed out golden corpse poison, everything returned to normal.
Some bandits at the Soul Master and Great Soul Master stages had exhausted their soul power, but still failed to break through the defense of the bone wall.
At this time, the skeletons that had been replenished began to climb up the wall of bones towards the fortifications, and some even pulled out a bone that did not affect their movements from their bodies and used it as a weapon.
The fortifications were not high, but some of the skeletons were stronger and climbed up quickly, followed by a bloody massacre.
The frightened bandits and the bandits hit by the cursed magic had their pants wet and their legs weak, making it impossible for them to escape. When the skeletons pierced their bodies with bone spikes, the last sight of their lives was only the dancing fire of the soul in the skeleton's eyes.
The other soul masters and bandits saw that something was wrong and no longer dared to stay, and ran madly towards the depths of the cave.
"Whoosh whoosh."
Of course, not all ordinary bandits were frightened. Some followed the soul master bandits and started to run away.
It was at this time that the skeletons who first broke through the fortifications had the soul fire flickering in their pupils, and the illusory light on their bodies once again fused their bodies together.
The skeleton, which was originally about 1.5 meters tall, suddenly grew to more than 2 meters. At the same time, it pulled out the bones in its body and threw them directly out like javelins.
With a whistling sound, the ordinary bandit running at the end was nailed to the wall of the cave by the powerful bone javelin.
Just like when they killed those merchants.
Before he died, there was only infinite fear in his eyes.
"Stop it." Alex said in a deep voice, "Let the Death Knight go in to finish it off. The bone dragon is too big to be able to perform its duties inside."
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.
As his mind moved, the scepter in his hand released an order of command. In an instant, the undead that had rushed into the cave began to retreat like a tide.
The other six headless death knights stood in a row at the entrance of the cave, ready to attack. When Huo Yuhao gave an order, their horses roared and quickly galloped inside.
Under the gaze of Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, the defensive fortifications that the skeleton zombies had to form a group to cross were completely destroyed by a charge of six Death Knights.
Hurried footsteps sounded, and from deep in the cave, a sharp and furious voice came out, "As a fellow evil spirit master, you are going too far, aren't you? Do you think I, the messenger of the god of death, am just a decoration?"
As the screaming sounded, a strange scene occurred. Inside the cave, the bodies of more than 200 bandits began to swell and emitted a strange red light.
"Corpse confinement."
Alex's mental power assisted Huo Yuhao. As the scepter hit the ground, a ray of gray light rushed into the cave. In an instant, the bodies of the bandits that were about to explode all returned to their original form and there was no movement.
"Huh? Why didn't it explode?"
The next moment, a confused voice sounded, but soon, confusion turned into shock, "Death Knight with holy attributes?"
Inside the cave, six Death Knights stopped in front of a group of people. The leader was covered in a black robe, but his body was very thin, and he was hunched over, like a rat in a sewer.
Next to this person, there was another group of people, nine in total, all of whom were at the Soul King level, but did not have the black ten thousand year soul ring.
Looking at the tall Death Knight and Undead Warhorse that were filled with holy light, the Death Messenger's expression suddenly changed. The evil soul master fears the holy attribute the most.
He did not bring the twelve corpse slaves he had refined for protection, which put him in big trouble.
"You block it."
The messenger of Death is not mentally normal, but that doesn't mean he is a fool. As the fifth soul ring on his body lights up, the whole person turns into a puff of smoke and flies towards the depths of the cave at an astonishing speed.
The nine Soul King bandits were shocked, but because they were worried that the corpse poison in their bodies would be detonated, they did not run away. Instead, they mobilized their soul power to delay the Death Knight.
But before they could make the first move, the soul fires on the six Death Knights lit up. The next moment, six illusory shadows of light separated from their bodies and launched a charge. Their appearance was almost the same but they were in attack form. When the illusory Death Knights thrust their spears out, spear shadows swept across the sky, instantly tearing the nine Soul King bandits to pieces.
The light and shadow dissipated, leaving behind a field of corpses.
This group of Soul King bandits died too suddenly, without even using any strength.
The escaped messenger of death did not continue running in the cave, but secretly jumped into a secret passage and then quickly fled the place.
Those subordinates he recruited were simply abandoned in the cave. Anyway, as long as he was not dead, he could form a new team in a year at most.
But what the messenger of death did not notice was that a golden spot of light appeared on the back of his head.
"return."
Outside the cave, Huo Yuhao issued an order, and the six Death Knights in the cave immediately took the order and immediately returned the way they came.
Spreading out his hands, Huo Yuhao saw a light spot suddenly appearing in the palm of his hand, and the light spot was moving continuously.
Because he was familiar with the development of the original work, he knew that the cave was full of explosives. If the Grim Reaper wanted to escape, he would have to detonate the explosives, and those bandits who were not killed would be buried in them.
“Bone Dragon, let’s go, it’s time to end it.” Huo Yuhao said indifferently.
Under his feet, a huge bone dragon spread its wings of brilliant light and flew towards the other side of the cave. However, in order to be less conspicuous at night, the bone dragon wisely hid the light, and its entire body was completely hidden in the darkness.
“Damn it, where did this evil soul master come from? Don’t let this messenger know your identity, otherwise I will definitely refine you into a corpse slave in the future.” The resentful voice echoed in the secret passage. The next moment, a figure quickly rushed out of the secret passage and came to a slightly hidden forest.
The man in the black cloak and the hunched body is none other than the messenger of death.
Looking at the twelve corpse slaves kneeling on one knee in front of him, the messenger of death looked at the exit of the secret passage with lingering fear. The next moment, he waved his hand and quickly led the corpse slaves away.
"Boom!"
Just after the messenger of death escaped from the cave, a loud explosion suddenly sounded. It was the explosives he had buried in the cave.
After passing through this forest, there is a fast-flowing river. When he gets there, he feels safe.
Perhaps because he thought he was safe, the Messenger of Death began to ponder the incredible scene just now. It was too outrageous that the Death Knight had divine attributes.
"Swish." Surrounded by twelve corpse slaves, he suddenly raised his head because he heard the sound of flowing water.
The hood of the Death Messenger had been blown away while he was running, revealing a face that looked like a skeleton. Only a piece of skin was left hanging on his face, and his pupils were a creepy dark green.
Rushing out of the forest, a river with a width of two hundred meters came into view. However, because the sky was too dark, the water in the river seemed as deep as black water, and the messenger of death could only see very close.
Looking at the unclear river surface, the Messenger of Death immediately slapped the storage belt around his waist and took out a portable soul guide lamp for lighting.
A ray of soul power was injected into it, and soon, a dim light shone from it, dispelling the darkness.
However, when the light spread, the pupils of the messenger of death suddenly froze, and his entire body, from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and the biting coldness surged throughout his body.
About twenty meters in front of him, a huge figure was floating on the river. That body without any flesh and blood, like a creature from hell, was staring at him.
And on the head of the bone dragon, a young man was sitting cross-legged, holding his chin and looking at him.
"You're here."
The gentle voice echoed around the silent river.
The next moment, a dazzling light shone from the huge creature, a pair of bright golden lights rose from its dark pupils, there were jumping flames on the dark blue bones, and the wings behind it exuded flowing colors. Combined with the illusory light, it was impossible to tell that this was actually an undead bone dragon.
The holy light combined with the dragon's might fell on the messenger of death. The cold aura all over his body suddenly plummeted, and his soul was suppressed to the point of almost bursting.
"Ahhh..." A scream came from the Death Messenger and the soul guide lamp fell directly to the ground and shattered.
As for the twelve corpse slaves, they were suppressed even more strongly by the bone dragon. Unable to bear the pressure, they knelt directly on the river bank.
"Pop." A wisp of gray flame ignited from Huo Yuhao's finger, and the flame quickly split into twelve rays, one of which drilled into the body of the corpse slave.
After a while, the skin of the corpse slave, which was originally as iron-gray as a dead person, returned to normal, and a gray light appeared in its emotionless eyes.
These corpse slaves collectively looked at Huo Yuhao. With the help of Alex's mental power, Huo Yuhao felt an emotion called gratitude very clearly.
They were all people who were refined into corpse slaves by the messenger of death. When the fire of purification appeared, their own consciousness was revived.
Slowly, amid the screams of the Messenger of Death, faint soul light and shadows rose from the twelve corpse slaves. They were both men and women, and they saluted Huo Yuhao with great respect and gratitude, and then quietly disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Yuhao, remember the necromancy that your teacher taught you. It is not just about controlling the dead. You also have the responsibility to purify the dead and let them rest in peace. This is what a true necromancer does. How you use this power determines what type of person you are, good or bad, or both. Don't let yourself get lost in the future."
Electrolux's serious voice sounded.
“I understand. Thank you for your instruction, teacher.” Huo Yuhao replied solemnly.
"What are you going to do with this person?" asked Electrolux.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Doesn’t this guy like to make corpse slaves? Why not put his soul into the body of the corpse slave, and then replace the new soul into his original body. This way it will be easier to control him in the future.”
"That's fine. There are idle souls in the demiplane, you can use them as you like." Alex smiled and said, "With the help of my original spiritual power, when you condense the magic circle, you should feel more. I'm going to sleep first, and you can call me when you return to the barracks."
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao chanted a spell, releasing his mental and soul powers at the same time. A gray halo rose from under his feet, and a magic circle condensed in the palm of his hand, from which a small human-shaped soul emerged.
“Go, this body is yours.” Huo Yuhao rubbed the head of the human-shaped soul.
The humanoid soul bowed respectfully to Huo Yuhao, then dived into the body of the Death Messenger.
Not long after, a ray of soul light was forcibly kicked out of the body of the Death Messenger.
Looking closely, it was the soul of the messenger of death.
"No... this is impossible." The soul of the messenger of death tried to rush back into his body in horror, but it was useless.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his palm and created a magic circle with thousands of complex patterns out of thin air without even chanting any spell. It wrapped the soul of the messenger of death, and amid the other party's begging for mercy and shouting in fear, he threw him into the body of one of the most powerful corpse slaves. At the same time, a undead contract was imprinted on the soul of the messenger of death.
In this way, the corpse slave transformed by the messenger of death became completely quiet, as if he was asleep. When he woke up, he would be conscious, but Eternal Life could only see the world from the perspective of a spectator, and even had to accept the pain completely.
Not long after, the Death Messenger's original body, whose soul had been replaced, regained consciousness. He immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully called out to Huo Yuhao, "My Lord."
“From now on, just call yourself Heishui, and stop calling yourself the Messenger of Death.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
"I'll keep it in mind." Heishui responded excitedly.
“This blueprint contains the plan I made. You must remember all of it and then destroy it.” Huo Yuhao threw down a blueprint. “This world is not the Holy Demon Continent. You must try your best to learn how to control your soul power. We will meet again in the future.”
After he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao patted the bone dragon’s head lightly. The light on the bone dragon’s body immediately retracted, and then it spread its wings and flew away quickly.
After taking the blueprint, Heishui glanced around and after seeing everything clearly, a burst of soul power shook it apart and tore the blueprint into pieces.
He looked at the direction where Huo Yuhao left with reverence, then pulled open his cloak to cover his body, and quietly disappeared into the night with the corpse slave transformed by the messenger of death.
And the direction he was heading towards was the Sun and Moon Empire.
Huo Yuhao did not return to the military camp directly, but returned to the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, the power of the explosives in Douluo Continent was limited. Although the deep part of the cave was collapsed and buried, the cave as a whole was not completely destroyed. However, the bandits hiding in the deepest part of the cave would be trapped to death inside.
He buried the bodies of the caravan members who died in the robbery, but unfortunately their souls had already disintegrated and could not be purified. He then took the undead back to the demiplane and finally cast a spell to harvest the souls of the bandits.
Looking at the slowly disappearing Undead Gate, a ray of Alex's original spiritual power in Huo Yuhao's body was instantly retracted. When everything returned to normal, Huo Yuhao sat down weakly on the ground, gasping for breath.
The third eye between his eyebrows closed automatically.
His soul power was only reduced by 20%, but his mental power was almost consumed by 80%.
However, with the help of Alex's mental power to help him release magic, his understanding of undead magic has deepened a lot. Otherwise, with his mental power, how could he summon the Gate of the Dead and control the undead?
“Oh, right, the Sun Pillar.” Huo Yuhao perked up his spirit and entered the sea of consciousness to check. At this time, Ice Emperor and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were still sleeping. It was strange that this did not wake them up.
As for the White Dragon Soul, there has been no movement since that day.
On the Sun Pillar, the light on the first star ring became dim and colorless, with only a thin layer of light remaining.
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, “I summoned exactly one thousand undead for amplification this time, but it almost emptied out the sunlight I had stored for the past half month. Undead with different strengths will provide different amounts of sunlight when amplified. It seems that if I want to use the power of the First Star Ring at night in the future, I will have to store a large amount of sunlight in advance, otherwise I will be in a dilemma of having a gun but no bullets.”
As I said, sunlight is similar to soul power, and star rings are soul skills. Only with soul power can you use soul skills. The two complement each other.
"I don't know what I can do when the sun is shining during the day. Will it be a different situation?"
Today's first experience also made Huo Yuhao understand one thing. If there is not much accumulated sunlight, then at night, it is best to give the amplification to the undead of middle and high-level races, pursuing single-unit strength rather than quantity.
Even the lowest-level undead such as skeletons and zombies can increase their combat power several times with the power of the First Star Ring, and can even be resurrected on the spot. It can be seen how terrifying the increase will be if it is used on powerful undead.
After leaving the sea of consciousness, Huo Yuhao quickly and lightly hurried back to the military camp. As for the corpses on the ground, he did not move.
When Huo Yuhao returned to the military camp, it was already 4:30 in the morning. With the help of simulated soul skills and Alex, he sneaked into the military camp without attracting the attention of any patrolling soldiers. He then quickly went to the toilet and pretended to use it before walking out.
When he returned to the tent, he met five White Tiger guards. The two looked at each other without saying anything, just nodded, and then he successfully entered the tent.
Almost the same time as when he left, both the home team and the reserve team, as well as Zhang Lexuan and Wang Yan, were in a state of meditation.
Huo Yuhao tiptoed back to his seat and immediately began to meditate, as if nothing had happened.
With the help of necromancy, he completely changed the future development.
